If you take supplements, at some point you may find you have too many supplements to manage and consume. Time for a supplement intervention!

How can you tell if you fit into this category? Well, if your kitchen cabinets start to resemble the store shelves below, you qualify!The reasons vary, but ultimately many people look to supplements to provide a sense of control and order in their life. And so the more the better. The hope is that active supplementation will improve overall health, and ultimately increase longevity. However tempting this idea is, it’s ultimately hard to prove it works. But the possibilities, ah the possibilities!

So how do you make good use of even a few dozen of the hundreds upon hundreds of supplements available that look useful towards goals of healthy longevity? I’ve tried to solve this dilemma by organizing and dispensing supplements different ways, many inspired by like minded posters on longecity.org. The trouble is - most stacks are too troublesome to take long-term.

Is there a simple way to create and produce supplement stacks you want,

with minimal effort and cost, but maximum ease of use and flexibility?

I propose a system using the simple concept of divide, organize, and conquer. First, you determine a set of core EVERYDAY supplements, things to take regularly. This is the k.i.s.s. ‘must take daily’ category and may be TIME dispensed. This stack is outlined in the listing.Second, you create optional FOCUS stacks of supplements. These are used selectively, typically not every day, although they may be. These are made to FOCUS on a health or performance issue, mental or physical.Finally, I describe in detail and efficient and easy method of producing your own stack. By combining and encapsulating the ingredients yourself, and using the"Capsule / Mixture Calculator" I created (available to copy for your own use - link in the document) you'll easily measure out use just the right amounts for what you need.
